I am making a Dresden Fan quilt. A new version of the quilt I made in 2011.
I am using polka dots again, just different polka dots…
I have even white on white polka dots…
If you remember, I am not fond of turned edge appliques. That’s why I chose to turn the Dresden Fan block into an octagon then into a square. Who doesn’t love piecing squares?
This is definitely a fun block! I still need 2-3 days of work to finish the top.
Have a great weekend,
Geta
Clever twist! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!
Brilliant!!!!!!!
I love these blocks. Thanks for the tutorial.
Fabulous idea Geta! Will be waiting to see the finished quilt.
This is going to be a beautiful quilt ,can not wait to see the result.
Can.not.wait for the pattern. Beautiful quilt.
My bucket list of quilts to make is very short…this quilt is the only one on it!!!! I love your first version, and this one looks like it will be every bit as fun!!!
Love your way of doing the dresden fan block. I am defiantly gonna try this again 😀
Have a good weekend!
Oh, Geta – your post today has really touched me! My sister Susie of Susie's Sunroom just gave me a bundle of polka dots for Christmas, and now I know exactly what I want to make from it! I hadn't seen that original quilt before, and it is fascinating. This new method looks like such FUN, and I really enjoy making Dresden blocks, too. BIG thank you for showing these tips!!! And now…if I could only learn to quilt as beautifully as you do!
They are all beautiful blocks whatever the shape is. I like the square idea though, brilliant!
Hi Geta,
your Dresden Fan Block really looks so fresh and modern that I think it'll be fun to sew a whole quilt! Martina
I love your " Geta Spin" on the Dresden Fan block! It will be stunning! Your dots and touches of black are sooo pretty!
